There is no doubt about Bl4ire
being away ahea | in the rae for
the Republican nomination for Pres
ident, as TIL canvass now stands.
1t strikes US that Mr.. Ingalls,, of
Kansas, would MAKE the most avail
able candidate that Farty could nom
mate. He is brilliant and brAiny,
and as far as we REMEMBER, there is
70 bad record against him. With
Ingalls, and Hill! IS the leaders of

Good enough. What is the use of
having parties and party principles
if those who antag O1lzc party and
Its principles are to be given the Off
ces within it's gift. When will Gro
yer Cleveland learn this? The old
maxim "better late than never
will apply to the present cond tic n
of affairs very apt'y and the PRESS
dent of United States, obstinate,
stubborn and bull-headed as he is ,
would do well 10 think OF it. HIS

q good example and 'twouId do him
